Project Info
This project is site-specific to the Phoenix Indian School at Steel Indian School Park. I currently visit the old Phoenix Indian School location, walk the land, and document the old boarding school location and its three remaining buildings. I retrace and document this walking/memory experience through field binaural recordings, video, photography, and GPS mapping tools/apps. This is a public site-specific sound walk holding a digital memory of my daily walks during the COVID-19 pandemic. The project aims to activate Indigenous perspectives and dialogue about connecting to the Land and Place using the body, digital technology, audio mapping, and locative media.
